April 4, 200719 yr Hello... I just got a copy of windows xp home upgrade from my neighbour. He said that the product code is still valid but the activation code isn't. He said that to get a new activation code all i have to do is email or call microsoft to get a new code........is that really the case i taught microsoft were strict about that sort of thing?? Does anyone know if there's a way around this?? Phil.
April 4, 200719 yr When you install Windows, it will ask you to activate it. You should be able to do it online and if it doesn't work then call the number it gives you. I've done this quite a few times for peoples' Dells and whatnot.
